This piece of antique jewellery is in beautiful condition.
The necklace is gold lined and has the original chain with its bolt ring clasp which works well. The cameo is hand carved shell and the gold presents as a pale rose gold.
Gold Lined indicates that the piece is made from a sheet of solid 9ct gold heat attached to a base metal (often silver or copper) to give a long lasting piece of jewellery with all the look and feel of gold. It is the next best thing to solid gold and the best form of plating being better than rolled gold.
There are no faults as such with this piece.
The pendant measures 25mm x 18mm. The necklace measures 450mm long.
